By CPO2 Dave Skinner, Staff Officer, PCC Atlantic

On March 29, 2019, Sandra Elizabeth Croney, better known as Betty, hung up her apron and clippers and closed shop for the last time after almost 43 years as the well-known A-Block Barber. Originally from Halifax, Betty grew up in the north end, attended Queen Elizabeth High School, and went on to graduate from the Institute of Technology (now NSCC on Leeds Street). Betty started cut- ting hair at Shannon Park on April 21, 1976 and immediately realized that she had a deep connection with her customers. After only a brief time at Shannon Park, Betty moved to the Halifax side, and relocated her shop in the corner of Atlantic Block The group of friends and colleagues who where she remained for the next four attended Betty’s retirement gathering at decades until the demise of A-Block S-90 on March 29. in 2017. RYAN MELANSON, TRIDENT STAFF A visit to get a haircut at Betty’s shop was an experience all of its own - from her cheery smile as she told you to “scoot your bones down” so she could reach the top of your head, to the discussions of CFB Halifax dress policy, politics and the latest rumours circulating around the base.

On March 29, 2019, the 15th edition of PHOENIX EXPRESS officially be- gan in Casablanca, Morocco. Follow- ing a formal opening ceremony, ships and personnel from Spain, Tunisia, Morocco, and other participating na- tions departed for an operating area in the western Mediterranean Sea, in and around the territorial waters of various North African countries. For the next week, they would work coop- eratively to enhance their responses to trafficking, irregular migration, the transport of illegal goods, and other threats to regional stability. Joining them for the first time for this year’s operations: warships of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). Well into their Operation PROJEC- TION deployment in Africa, HMC Ships Kingston and Shawinigan joined a team of liaison officers to form Canada’s contribution to this important multinational initiative.

By Lt(N) Rob Davenport, Weapons Officer

On April 7, 2019, HMCS Regina boarded an unregistered dhow (local fishing vessel) in the Arabian Sea sailing on the Hash Highway – a known smuggling route in the Indian Ocean. The boarding led to Regina’s first drug bust of Op ARTEMIS 2019, seizing more than 2,500 kg of hash- ish. By destroying the drugs at their source, Regina is reducing the flow of illegal narcotics and money into the hands of organized crime and terror- ist groups. Regina, working under Canadian- led Combined Task Force (CTF) 150, is operating in the Arabian Sea as part of a 33-nation coalition known as Combined Maritime Forces. The mis- sion: counter terrorism and maritime security operations aimed at inter- cepting the smuggling of illicit goods, including narcotics, which fund ter- rorist networks. The illegal narcotics flow from the Makran Coast to Yemen and Africa, some of which are eventu- ally destined for Europe and North America.
